Ludovico Granvassu's Garden of Jazzy Delights 2024
by Ludovico Granvassu
Have you noticed how many “best of the year" listicles start with an apologetic preamble ("these are not necessarily 'the best albums of the year' but 'my favorites';" “it's all subjective;" “tomorrow I might have chosen different titles;" “I could only select ten albums" etc.)? Those disclaimers channel the writer's discomfort of having to summarize a ...

MOMO.: Gira
by Chris May
Gira is one of those exhilarating beyond-category albums which London produces uniquely well, if the gentle reader will excuse a little partisanship. It is part música popular brasileira (MPB) and part jazz, but never entirely one or the other, swinging between the two as the fancy takes it. Add to that splashes of West African highlife, ...
Sandman Project: Where Did You Go?
by Chris May
Anyone who has made multiple visits to Goa, where they formed the Goa Afrobeat Band--as Tel Aviv-based guitarist and composer Tal Sandman has done--is self-evidently on the right team. Sandman lives in the Jaffa neighbourhood in southside Tel Aviv, an area in which Jews and Arabs live cheek by jowl, and diverse cultures co-exist, and where, ...
Ludovico Granvassu's Garden Of Jazzy Delights 2022
by Ludovico Granvassu
The depth and range of the music that jazz players have put on record in 2022 are so big that summarizing this “year in jazz" by selecting only ten albums feels akin to taking the photo of a breath-taking landscape with an ultra-low resolution camera... Ten years from now, how is one supposed to understand how ...

Sandman Project: Royal Family
by Chris May

The band's EP Royal Family does not contain enough improvisation to qualify as “jazz" however. Further, the Ethio-jazz in the mix, mostly contributed by trumpeter Tal Avraham and bass guitarist Shay Hazan, is less forward than the echoes of ...
